What's wrong with the following code?
;------------------------------------------------------------------
; function that pushes several results in the stack
;------------------------------------------------------------------
compute:
pushad
mov ecx, N ;loop some number of times
mov eax, data1 ;get some data
mov ebx, data2
.for: call doSomething ;operate on eax and ebx
; on return, eax contains
; result we're interested in
push eax ;save result in stack
loop .for
;;; we're done
popad
ret
What's tricky about the following code?
compute:
pushad
push ebp
mov ebp, esp
;;; get parameters from the stack
mov ecx,[ebp+XX] ;XX is some offset
mov eax,[ebp+YY] ;YY is some offset
mov ebx,[ebp+ZZ] ;ZZ is some offset
.for: call doSomething ;operate on eax and ebx
; on return, eax contains
; result we're interested in
loop .for
;;; we're done
pop ebp
popad
ret 3*4
Helpful Trick
